              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: T.Rudyk
Evening started partly cloudy, with clouds coming from the west. Seeing was good and we lucked out for a while, as we sat in a huge suckerhole for several hours, but by 21:30 clouds were finally rallying. By 23:45 rain had appeared on the radar, and the observer was getting no science, so we closed up. We did not open again.
